[Michael Rys] Correct. The main reason is of course that you can query
1.1 infosets using 1.0 query technology and vice versa...

[Michael Rys] Well not quite. If XML 1.1 or Namespaces 1.1 needs to make
sure that their impact on the infoset is not make the above impossible.
One example would be that XML 1.1 would have to be NFC normalized. Then
I cannot take a 1.0 infoset and serialize it as XML 1.1 (and no,
requiring the serialization step to do NFC is not acceptable since
operations on the infoset level would still not be normalized).
Another example would be to limit acceptable name characters
(disregarding the welcome fix of : in names) in 1.1.
